Set Multimode Question/error

Hi,

Could someone tell me why I get the following error at boot up:

Partition check:
hda: hda1 hda2 hda3
hdb:hdb: set_multmode: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
hdb: set_multmode: error=0x04 { DriveStatusError }
hdb1 hdb2 < hdb5 hdb6 hdb7 hdb8 > hdb3 hdb4

This problem has happened ever since the shift to 2.2.0x
It worked fine in 2.1.132. The drive still works under 2.2, just much
slower.

Attached is the boot log in the hope this problem can be resolved.
Oh overclocking my 133 to 188 is not the problem as it's been this way
since 2.1.89 without problems.

My motherboard does not support UDMA
